Epiphone Crestwood ET-290 Made in Japan - $300 in Baltimore area


I played on e of these MIJ Epiphone ET-290's at Guitar Centers Vintage Room a ffew years back and really liked it. that one cost $450 atthe time. They are nice solid guitars and the pickups sound good. These are bolt-on necks but have a nice feel and they look very cool. Epi reissued these a few times but these are basically the original of this particular late 60's and early 70's model.

vintage epiphone hardbody electric guitar. 2 gold plated humbucking pickups, 2 volume and tone control, 3 position toggle switch, maple body, pearl inlays and a orange and red sunburst design on the body. the model # is ET-290N. it was verified by gibson to be an authentic vintage guitar. have a great image and info sheet they sent me as well. in near perfect condition except for some small crackling of the glaze/enamel on the bottom corners. in a beat up guitar case right now with new strings on it but no shoulder strap. i am looking to have you come pick the guitar up-or pay for shipping. please feel free to e-mail me if you have any further questions or would like more pictures of the guitar. it was a gift and i am just trying to find it a better home.. thanks- kate kateapple@gmail.com

  1. Hello ... my late father had an older sunburst design violin bass guitar. It has one swirl design cut into the face and pearl / ivory looking inlay around the edges but doesn't have a name plate on it only a Made in Japan on the metal plate on the back. Hoping someone can give me some guidance on determing whether of some value or simply a good looking knock off. Have tried a few general Google searchs to no avail. I could email or post a picture if that was helpful. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as may have to sell with upcoming move. Thx.

    Cheers
